Your Day Today!

Recommended Posts

Just cleaned up my rear caliper and give it a coating to fight the corrosion from road salt. The brake pads still seem like new thickness wise. Can't seem to wear them out. They have done about 14,000 miles since they went in. The first set that came with the bike were replaced, nearly worn out at 13k so it's all a bit odd.

I'm still on the original front pads so they have done 29,000 miles. I have a new set ready to go in, but they still looked good a few weeks ago when I cleaned up the front brakes after the winter saltfest, so I never put them in. I swear I do use the brakes and they work fine so not sure what is going on.

I also wire brushed and painted most of my centre stand. It was a rusty nightmare. I can't get used to not having chain oil all over that part of my bike, preserving it.

Thing is, you're one of those people who fit in here and are in tune with the Spanish.

Most aren't as you've probably seen.....they just congregate in their Brit cliques!

Those are the ones who cause the "them and us" scenario so it's best never to be seen with them or the locals will think you're one of them.

I really do love Spain and their way of being. 

I’m very lucky to have landed in a place thats next to the sea and used just by the Spanish. 

I just wish I took Spanish at school rather than French!

Might be a bit absent for a min or two cos leaving for the Alps tomoz. Riding to Portsmouth with one woman and meeting the others for pub grub before the ferry. 

Forecast shite. Mr Slowly has offered to go to Brizzle n pick up a heated vest for me before I leave- won’t be turning that offer down 😆

Everyone seems very excited so I think we’ll have some fun.

Stash arrived in time. The computer simulation pic doesn’t do the real thing justice but they turned out well.

I’ll say HAPPY SUNDAY now, technically it is 💐 😊

It's still a Romance language and there are many similarities.

Looks like we're not having the kids today cos they're a bit under the weather.

So I'll be out for a few hours.......which gives me plenty of time to get the winning shot for BOTM!

Few shots from today!

Couldn't get the pics I wanted cos the reservoir at Negratin has hardly got any water in it cos of the drought.

Most of it is now fields or marshland!

Don't know about this top box...are you sure it was installed correctly..?

It's upside down! But I think it suits the bike!

Don't know about that...if you got  any weight in there sure looks like it would throw off the  handling of the bike...being so far off the back wheel..

You see a lot of bikes with the boxes way back now.......but I never put anything heavy in it.
